Crispy Southern Fried Chicken
Ingredients:
3 lbs chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce (if using).
Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Fry chicken in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes per batch.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
